All the hype and discussions about the hybrid and now it hardly ever gets a mention during the rallies. The info is on the screen of WRC+ but is totally ignored. The use and deployment of the battery power isn't even spoken of by the teams and drivers.

It was stated as goal before this season that it should be as seemless and simple for the drivers.
A bit of a missed opportunity imo, some more freedom and a manual "boost button" could maybe lead to more interesting strategies.
But then again the "lack of entertainment" feel right now is mainly due to the Kalle+Toyota dominance vs Hyundai reliability+Solberg mess and MSport business operation.

Remember the first year in F1 with Hybrid engines? They used to have more indicators in some graphics.. They even started to show the "% of fuel" in the cars, probably to show how the hybrid was making it more fuel efficient.
But I dont even remember these things being shown by round 3 or 4 haha. I may be wrong cuz I was not following F1 thaaaat close by the time, but those graphics about the hybrid are gone.
Sometimes on onboards you can see on the driver steeringwheel some graphics about the regeneration of the Hybrids.. It looks interesting, wish they could show us more of that. (F1)
Reading through the Final Instructions for the Jim Clark and this part is interesting ; Crew Safety Briefing There will be a competitor briefing which will be available on the Sportity App prior...
British & Irish Championships...
